What is Business Law?

Generally speaking, business litigation deals with all areas of business practice under the legal umbrella. Business law (or commercial law) is often considered as a branch of civil law and deals with the legal workings of hiring employees, the sale of goods, contracts, and more. As a business owner, it can be hard enough to keep a business afloat, let alone handle all of the legal nuances on your own, for this reason, a business lawyer from our firm may be your best option!

What Should Be Included in a Business Contract?

When drafting a business contract, it is important to keep a few ideas in mind. Remember to use language that is detailed and clear -- being too ambiguous may leave room for loopholes or misinterpretations of the contract. Be sure to cover all types of possible situations that may arise -- a contingency plan for all scenarios is ideal for ensuring that your business continues to be up and running no matter what.

Other tips for writing a business contract:

• Get your contract in writing. A written contract is your best option in ensuring that all parties understand what the terms are.
• Use language that is understood by all parties.
• Be detailed about the rights and obligations of all parties
• All parties will have access to your trade secrets -- include a clause that stops them from sharing this information
• Include a section that discusses how the contract will be terminated
